Chu Xiu's words caused Jiang Wenyuan's expression to change slightly. This was only a very small flaw. At most, it was a point of suspicion. He did not expect that Chu Xiu would actually investigate the Dragon Gathering Pavilion because of this point of suspicion.
But Jiang Wenyuan still took a tough stance. "The Dragon Gatherer Pavilion has its own rules. How can we divulge information about our guests? You want to investigate the Guanzhong Torture Room? You're not qualified! Get out of here in ten breaths, or bear the consequences! "
With that, Jiang Wenyuan waved his hand. Immediately, more than ten of Jiang Wenyuan's hanger-ons surrounded Chu Xiu and the others, glaring at them covetously.
In the land of Eastern Qi, Jiang Wenyuan had the right to be so arrogant. Anyway, he had the Immunity Medallion. Even the royal family of Eastern Qi could not do anything to him, let alone an outsider like Chu Xiu.
Cheng Zhouhai approached Chu Xiu and whispered, "Brother Chu, this is troublesome. What should we do? Why don't we retreat for now? "
Although Cheng Zhouhai was young, he was actually a veteran constable of the Guanzhong Torture Room. He had also been sent to other places to carry out missions. But to be honest, this was the first time they had seen something like this.
The Guanzhong Torture Hall had been invited here. Logically speaking, the local forces should have cooperated, but in the end, they were about to fight. They were here to solve a case, not to snatch a territory. Was there a need to be like this?
Chu Xiu said plainly, "Retreat? It's easy to retreat, but don't forget, we are representing the Guanzhong Torture Room. Once we retreat, it means that the Guanzhong Torture Room has lost face. With Hall Chief Guan's personality, will he spare us or you? "
Cheng Zhouhai was speechless. It was hard to say. It was easy to admit defeat, but it would be a loss of reputation.
However, at this moment, Jiang Wenyuan snorted coldly and said, "You're not going to scram? Fine, beat them all out! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wenyuan's mercenaries rushed towards Chu Xiu and the others.
Jiang Wenyuan's subordinates were at the Inner and Physical Invulnerability Realms, as well as the Three Flowers at One's Prominence and the Five Qis Collecting in Mind. Moreover, they were more numerous than the people from the Guanzhong torture room. Therefore, the people from the Guanzhong torture room were immediately suppressed as soon as they started fighting.
This was especially true for Chu Xiu, as he was given preferential treatment. Three martial artists of the Five Qis Collecting in Origin Realm attacked Chu Xiu at the same time, forcing Chu Xiu to retreat step by step.
In fact, Chu Xiu wasn't in such a miserable state. It was just that he didn't expect to use his full strength.
His main purpose for coming to Eastern Qi this time was to get the martial arts manual in Qiu Zhensheng's hands, not the truth of the case. It was not worth it to risk his life for this matter.
As long as he didn't act too cowardly in the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion and didn't embarrass the Guanzhong torture room, it would be fine.
Although Chu Xiu was in a difficult situation, he was still relaxed. However, Cheng Zhouhai and the others were already doing their best to resist. After all, they were strong, and they didn't even have a Three Flowers at One's Prominence.
Just when they were about to lose and Chu Xiu was about to pretend that he couldn't win and retreat, a sharp voice suddenly came, "All of you, stop!"
Wang Jin rushed over hurriedly with her men, looking enraged.
He had only returned to the Imperial City to report on his mission. In such a short span of a day, how did so many things happen?
Looking at Chu Xiu, Wang Jin said angrily, "I, Eastern Qi, came to Guanzhong torture room to investigate Qiu Zhensheng's case. How did you find out about the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion?"
Chu Xiu said with a deep voice, "It's not that we found out about the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion, but that the clues pointed to the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion. Eunuch Wang, Guanzhong torture room is a professional in this area. We won't just randomly frame an innocent person. "
As he spoke, Chu Xiu told Wang Jin all of their speculations.
After listening, Wang Jin also frowned. If it were anyone else, Wang Jin could use his identity to make them give in, but Jiang Wenyuan couldn't.
Wang Jin was the Deputy General Manager of the Front of the Palace Department and the emperor's confidant. Although his position wasn't too high, in the Land of Eastern Qi, he was an existence that could do whatever he wanted. Even some of the collateral royal families had to be polite to him.
However, Jiang Wenyuan was a sh * t-stirrer in the Land of Eastern Qi. No one could provoke him.
He was the memorial arch that the Eastern Qi Royal Family had set up. In the past, the Lu Royal Family had already said that they would let the Jiang Royal Family forever enjoy peace and happiness to prove that they were different from the last generation of the Jiang Royal Family. If they touched him now, wasn't it the same as slapping their own faces?
So, on the side of the Eastern Qi Imperial Court, no one wanted to offend Jiang Wenyuan. Moreover, they all kept a respectful distance from him.
But right now, this matter was a bit too big, so Wang Jin could only walk up, clasped his hands at Jiang Wenyuan, and said, "Prince Anle, Qiu Zhensheng's death has already alarmed His Majesty, so right now, please cooperate. If this matter truly has nothing to do with the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion, then we won't continue to disturb you. It's only a guest register. The Dragon Gatherer Pavilion records it every day, so flipping through it should be a very simple matter."
Jiang Wenyuan coldly snorted and said, "Register? There are so many Jianghu people coming and going in my Dragon Gatherer Pavilion every day. If something like a register is kept, how long would it need to be kept? Of course, it would be cleared every few days. "
Jiang Wenyuan's words were too half-hearted. Even Wang Jin didn't believe him.
The Dragon Gatherer Pavilion was different from other restaurants. Every single customer that came and went were famous in the Jianghu. Every single one of them had to be recorded in detail.
Yet, right now, Jiang Wenyuan actually said that the register needed to be cleared in a few days. He, the grand Prince Anle, didn't even have a place to store the register?
Wang Jin still wanted to say something, but he heard Jiang Wenyuan coldly snort and say, "Wang Jin, I'm giving you face by explaining so much to a eunuch like you. If you want to search my Dragon Gatherer Pavilion, bring His Majesty out if you have the ability. Or else, even if the general manager of the Front Palace Department, Zhang Rang, comes, he still won't be able to enter my Dragon Gatherer Pavilion!"
Jiang Wenyuan's "eunuch" made Wang Jin furious in his heart. Although he was a eunuch, and had even mocked himself like that before, mocking himself and insulting others were two different concepts.
However, at this moment, Wang Jin really didn't dare to fall out with Jiang Wenyuan. After all, he was just a eunuch and a servant of the royal family.
If Jiang Wenyuan lost his power, he would dare to step on him while he was down. However, if the Eastern Qi royal family didn't want to touch Jiang Wenyuan, there was nothing he could do.
Wang Jin had no choice but to say to Chu Xiu and the others, "Leave first. I'll report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty handle it!"
Since Wang Jin had already spoken, Chu Xiu and the others naturally wouldn't insist and left with Wang Jin.
When the people of the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion saw this scene, they were shocked. They thought to themselves that Jiang Wenyuan, a prince with a different surname, was really impressive in Eastern Qi. He didn't even care about the deputy general manager of the Front Palace Department, the confidant of the Emperor.
Watching the figures of Chu Xiu and the others leave, Jiang Wenyuan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
After returning to the ninth floor, Mr. Lu was still waiting there. He had seen the scene below, but he felt that Jiang Wenyuan had gone a little too far.
Everything he had was built on the premise that the Eastern Qi royal family didn't want to touch him. That was why he could cross the line unscrupulously and be arrogant. He didn't even care about Wang Jin, a confidant of the Emperor.
However, if he really went too far and the Eastern Qi royal family's tolerance for him reached its limit, Jiang Wenyuan would end up in a miserable state.
When that happened, people like Wang Jin, who had been wronged by Jiang Wenyuan or had temporarily backed down, would probably explode even more violently.
At this moment, Jiang Wenyuan didn't notice Mr. Lu's thoughts. He only said coldly, "Mr. Lu, find a time today and get rid of Chu Xiu for me!"
Mr. Lu was shocked when he heard this. He said, "Your Highness, you just had a conflict with Chu Xiu, and you want me to kill him. This is clearly saying that you're the murderer. Even an idiot can see the connection between this."
Jiang Wenyuan said lightly, "That's right. Even an idiot can see the connection between this, but do you think I look like an idiot? Therefore, no one will think that I'm stupid enough to kill Chu Xiu at this time. They will definitely think that Chu Xiu died because of something else, or that the real murderer is trying to confuse them and frame them. "
Mr. Lu was taken aback. That did make sense.
He had always felt that Jiang Wenyuan was a bit of a fool, but now it seemed that he was quite capable.
But it was a pity that Jiang Wenyuan's identity was not so good. If he had been a normal person from the royal family, he would not have come this far.
"Since Your Highness is prepared, it's done. I'll do it when it gets dark. I promise that Your Highness will be satisfied." Mr. Lu made an obeisance with hands folded in front of his chest, and then disappeared.
At this time, after nightfall, Wang Jin was gritting her teeth and preparing to write a memorial to censure Jiang Wenyuan.
He had just returned from the capital, so he didn't have to go through so much trouble. It was just a matter of a letter.
As for Chu Xiu's side, except for him who didn't feel it was a big deal, the others were a bit worried about how to solve this tricky case.
The main reason Chu Xiu came here was for the cultivation method in Qiu Zhensheng's hands. If the case was solved successfully, he would not suffer a loss and could get some credit.
Of course, if he failed, they could also take the current situation back and say that they did not ruin the reputation of the Guanzhong torture room, but the power struggle between the Eastern Qi imperial court was a bit too complicated. It was difficult for them, a group of outsiders, to intervene.
The others were thinking hard in the guest room, but Chu Xiu did not bother to stay in the guest room, so he went to wander around the Ji State Prefecture.
To be honest, during the last God Weapon Conference, Chu Xiu actually did not wander around the Ji State Prefecture.
During the last God Weapon Conference, the smell of gunpowder was strong. Either someone wanted to kill Chu Xiu, or Chu Xiu was killing people, the situation was very tense.
But this time, Chu Xiu did not come with the idea of getting the cultivation method. Instead, he came to Eastern Qi with the idea that if he could get it, he would be lucky. So this time, he was very relaxed.
However, just as Chu Xiu walked into an alley, a fierce murderous intent suddenly fell, and a powerful Qi movement attacked Chu Xiu, causing Chu Xiu to subconsciously pull out the Heavenly Demon Dance hanging on his waist. The Devil Qi swept, and in an instant, the Avici Devil Knife suddenly slashed out!
